@@godson5877 and he played 3 more years…
Really a fantastic interview. Wifey may have a career in this field. She was the perfect person to conduct this interview. I’ve never seen AD speak so much. He is the GOAT for me. He has always been such a passionate player and it shows in how passionate he is about everything. That’s one of the things that made him so great. Aaron Donald tearing up made me bawl! The best are ruled by their passion and emotion. Emotion rules everything. And when she whispered, “it’s ok…” and then when she joked with him, “do you wanna come sit in my lap?” Yeah. That’s the love of your life. Perfectly done. She knows him completely and helped him get through this. I appreciate her a ton and I am so in awe of this man. The best career I’ve seen in my NFL watching life. I am so happy to be a life-long Rams fan and I consider myself extremely lucky to have been able to watch and marvel at the career of AD99. Aaron retiring is akin to Kobe retiring for me. And that’s saying everything as related to my sports fandom. Aaron Donald is my favorite NFL player of all time. I will miss him. Rams fans will miss him so damn much. Thank you, AD. Thank you for allowing us to witness and cheer your greatness. You are as coach said, “…one of one.”
Wifey is 🔥🔥🔥
AD by any chance you are reading this. Have a great retirement and thank you for what you have done for this franchise for 10 years and the city of LA for 7. You made football fun for me to watch and til this day, the only rams jersey I own. Thank you man. I hope to meet you one day. You are the greatest of all time. Love you 99
I agree with everything you said and I wish you the best in everything you do and being there for your family it's your time to have your self a great life and another thing thank you for what you did for football your name will forever be in the conversations of the true greats of football!
I'm not a Rams fan but I recognize that this guy is one of the best DTs in the NFL, he is a true GOAT
Not one, he is the GOAT dt of all time
Nice to see a black athlete with a black wife. Refreshing 🖤🖤🖤
I agree with you
Proud of this young man. Yall did well Proud of you both
You mean Myles Garrett
Yes that part right there
Supportive wife, happy life. She did great!
The fact you got your wife with you and telling your story is dope! #HOF99 💯💪🏽🙏🏽
S/o to AD for marrying a REAL woman. He did well with her.
It was an honor watching you play the last decade, DT 🐐
No BS.. I named my first born son after you. Aaron Amado Luna. You played the right way and was old school about it. You were drafted by my favorite team and brought that franchise back to glory. I’m so happy for your retirement and I can’t wait to show my son your highlights when he gets his helmet fitted. You deserve every award and from the Luna family, we can’t wait to support you and your family on your next endeavors. Thank you! Forever AD99
My son is two months old btw 😂
What a beautiful comment ❤ Much love to you and your family, God bless! 💯✨🙏🏽
@@paulibarra910 Thats so cool! Congrats on your son! Forever AD! The GOAT.
First off, Erica is a fantastic interviewer. I enjoyed listening to you guys. Thanks for a great 10 years of watching the GOAT lead my favorite team to a Superbowl. AD will always be my favorite player, He does great things both on and off the field. Enjoy retirement with the family 99. Much love from your Ramily.
Smart to be interviewed by his wife
What a solid dude and family man. Been a Rams fan my entire life. All the way back to Deacon Jones. Bought my first “new logo” jersey at training camp. Yep 99. It was an honor and pleasure to watch you dominate at your craft. Be ready once December rolls around. In case that spark comes back as we are gearing up for another playoff run!! Thanks for the memories and all you did for us fans.
Aaron is the greatest DT of this century
All time for sure
Last century too.
All time old head
His wife did a good job with the interview
The greatest DT in NFL history. Thank you for countless moments of joy and inspiration. GOAT
AD the best defensive player in NFL history
Don’t disagree but Reggie white Lawerence Taylor
SHAME ON YOU!!! he needed 1 more all pro for that type of talk
🧢🧢
lawrence taylor, hello?
He's most definitely top 5.
Thing about AD is yea he’s a hall of famer and a Super Bowl champion and he deserved Super Bowl mvp but anyways. Outside of all that he’s a stand up guy, takes care of his wife and kid, and you never ever heard any controversy about him in or out the locker room. Class act
As a 49er Fan, I have to admit this is one of the toughest DT we ever had to face year in and year out. My dad is also from Pittsburgh, and I have nothing but respect for what you did Aaron. God bless you and your fam in your retirement.
As a Rams fan from New Mexico, I've met five other Rams fans in 31 years of life and we always somehow ended up talking about you. I appreciate you and everything you did for the team. As Rams fans we wish you the best in your next journey.
Really enjoyed this interview Husband & Wife combination !! Can't beat it !!
Man.. This was a beautiful thing!! Even more Dope that he did this with his wife. We just witnessed a legend say good bye his way. This man will ride off in the sunset, we probably won’t hear from him publicly again! Salute 🫡 #99
My favorite Ram of all time! Thank you AD for playing your heart out for us!! I’m gonna miss watching u dominate on the field! 🥺❤️
Thank you AD! Glad to see you stick with the Rams for all your career. 🐐
Absolutely no-one could have done a better job with this interview than Erica. I smiled, laughed, my eyes welled up and I felt so much pride for the way Aaron and Erica set such great examples as accomplished professionals, devoted parents, humanitarians and loving husband and wife. They are genuinely beautiful people live and in person. Congratulations to the both you Aaron and Erica Donald and God bless.
Man great interview, his pops means a lot to him
Thank you Aaron for countless great memories cheering for my rams.
As someone born and raised in the 412, and a rams fan since 2001. All I can say is thank you sir!
Thanks for all the memories it was a pleasure to have you on my team💪
AD, AS A LIFE LONG RAMS FAN SINCE THE EARLY 80'S YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST IVE ENJOYED WATCHING AND CHEERING FOR ON AND OFF THE FIELD..THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US RAMS FANS GREAT MEMORIES AND OF COURSE A SUPERBOWL! WISH YOU COULD HAVE STAYED LONGER BUT HEY IT WAS GREAT WHILE IT LASTED.🙏🏼✊🏼 I WISH YOU ALL THE BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND WHAT EVER IS NEXT IN YOUR LIFE. STILL HOPE TO SEE YOU AROUND THE RAMS ORGANIZATION AND HOPEFULLY IM AT THE GAME WITH MY SONS WHEN YOU ARE HONORED BY THE RAMS AND YOUR NUMBER RETIRED. "RING ME"🐏🏠MOB SQUAD 🤘🏼🏆
Greatest DT of all time!! I’m a hard core cowboys fan , and I was upset he didn’t drop to us. I’ve followed your career , and your channel. I congratulate your career , and your off field endeavors. You are a role model for me , and will show my young son videos of you. Thank you for being real , and giving your best. God bless you , and your family
Great interview. Will never forget AD99. Also great interview by Erica...well done
Great interview. Love AD. The GOAT. Side note, his wife did well as interviewer.
Thank you for everything, brother. Legend lives forever #AD99
Thank you for turning the franchise around, the GOAT!!!
Thank you 99!
This was an insightful interview Erica did an excellent job. Thanks for all the fantastic plays and entertaining the fans for years. Blessings to you and your family. You’d be a great NFL commentator 🏈
Definitely one of the finest to ever lace them up. If I only got a dollar every time I saw Aaron getting double and triple teamed! I’m truly going to miss him. God bless you AD!❤
Seeing AD having tears talking about his dad put tears in my eyes. Our GOAT deserves all the praise, can’t wait to see him in Canton and I hope he gets a statue or his 99 retired
Best ram of all time, changed the game. Will never forget the speech he gave the defense during the NFC championship against the 49ers. All love for AD! Won us that Super Bowl
I’m a die Niner fan. But I have the upmost respect for Aaron Donald. What he’s done on and off the field. His support for his community in Pittsburgh. A true legend. Cheers Aaron. Enjoy your life, champ.
Maaannn I am glued. I can't turn away from this interview. Yall did that. Props. Continued success yall
i’m sad to see him retire but i’m very thankful for the times and success he brought back to the Rams. i’ll never forget him sealing that super bowl game. enjoy your retirement with the family champ, seen you come in as a young kid from Pitt looking to prove yourself till you had nothing else to prove. YOU DID IT. Thank you AD
Great time to be a fan. It’s nice that the players get to tell their own stories instead of us having to watch it in a movie or something. I think writing a biography would be a great idea. Keep the content coming and I’ll keep supporting the channel. You gave the league some great yrs Aaron. Hate to see you call it quits when we can all clearly see you have something left in the tank. Much love and respect. Thank you for the decade of domination. In the superbowl you all won, I don’t have to tell your family and friends that you were clearly the best player on the field that day. Should have gotten mvp of that superbowl for sure
Congratulations and Happy Retirement,! Wonderful interview, just loved that you kept it in the family. Blessings always.
Thank You to You and Your Family , From a 62 Year Old Mexican American Loyal "St Louis and Los Angeles"Rams 🐏 Fan 🏈 "Amigo a Amigo" Gracias 🇺🇸🙏🏼🇲🇽
Bruuuh, this is so heart felt and to hear how he spoke about his dad makes me miss my old man. I felt the same way and I totally know how he feel. This was a great interview and enjoy your retirement 👑
99 is one of the best to ever do it! He came in and balled out, with nothing else to prove he is now walking away on his own terms! Mic drop that's super dope. Congrats king
Man..I absolutely love this dude great Player,Son,Father husband And a Ram...I still say he Aint Done..😂👍🏾💥🇺🇲💙
Thank you for everything you've done in so many ways!!! I'm an old-timer rams fan, during this era with you at the helm has been the most enjoyable and exciting time in my time being a fan! Enjoy this 😎
I’ve always said that AD has the most supportive and genuine football wifey. Shout out to the Donald Fam ❤️
I think she was working for the Rams when he met her
Greatest defensive player in NFL history! No debate!
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEWS I EVER WATCHED!!!👏🏿👏🏿
Father’s are very important. Congratulations big DAWG! You’ve been an inspiration to many.
As a Cardinals fans there’s no team in the league I hate more than the LA Rams. Aaron Donald is impossible to hate as a person or as a player. Greatest player of his generation, great dude, and NFL representative.
One of the greatest draft picks of rams history, will never be replicated or matched.
Pittsburgh in the building!! I work in Penn hills high school in Emotional Support… I have talked about you many of days to get through to my young men. We appreciate you, slide through the room one day if you got a minute room 238 Mr. Cash & Mr. Wilson 💪🏾💪🏾
ITS HERE W’S IN THE CHAT EVERYONE!!! Rams house all day 💙💛
You had an amazing career. Not a Rams fan but definitely a fan of yours. I was happy to see you get that Super Bowl. You were Him in the NFL. Your strength and speed always stood out. Congrats to you and your family on your retirement.
Fan of the Rams for 65 years, Thanks for the great memories in the last 10 years Aron, congrats on the Superbowl 56 win, my greatest football experience was watching you get to Joe burrows, Mcvay said you were going t make that play, and you did, you are the man, God bless 😊.
AD is an admirable man who loves his family. Now I see how he wants to be there for his family because of how his family was always there for him when he was growing up. Best wishes for you and your family champ!
Thank you for sticking it out with the rams. Been an absolute pleasure watching you play for the last ten years. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Great interview, great testimony! Continued blessings!
This was super awesome. Aaron Donald is the best Defense Tackle ever. Mrs. Donald did a fantastic job with the interview. To hear her talk that way about her husband is terrific 💯
Man, I've never been in love with a man, but I love this dude😂😂😂😂 NO HOMO All jokes aside, man, this dude is the role model of ALL role models when it comes to football and human beings! My son plays D Tackle because of AD, and we started training when he was 9. We have the same love of football and the gym together, and our bond is crazy strong. We literally came from a college visit today from a school recruiting my son, and then i came home and saw this video. I have no idea if my son will make it to the NFL, and i could care less if he does, but the bond that football and this journey has built with us is priceless! Enjoy retirement AD! Rams fan for 42 years and counting, and you're the best I've EVER seen!!!!
Life long Niner and its bitter sweet to see such a great player retire. I’m glad he did it his way and shared this interview with his wife. It’s a beautiful thing. We love you bro. Go Niners.
Aaron......................You are an AMAZING PLAYER and you set a new standard for Defensive Tackles.............You are 1 of a kind !!!! thank you for all you did !!!
It’s nice to see a supportive partner as well damn good video
with all his accomplishment i think him scoring his wife is his biggest accomplishment by far shes fire smart articulate seems supportive this guy hit the life lotto congrats champ enjoy your retirement
Great interview this by far is a classic and thank you Donald for bringing your all and the amazing work and dedication to the game. As a Rams fan and fan of yours glad to watch and witness your greatness 🙌 brother God bless you in all you do!
Thank you AD. You are one of the biggest reasons I started to fall in love with football. Congratulations on your legendary career and I will miss your presence a lot!
The Goat... but also modeled loyalty as a husband and father. What a role model. Was blessed to see this career live.
Top five defenders of all time. Well deserved!! Love how you show so much love to your father and family💯💯👊🏽👊🏽
Aaron Donald. Thank you so much for doing this interview. I like every other fan was so sad when you retired. Its been a week now and now I am just so happy and content because you are happy and content. You are an inspiration! I am looking forward to whatever else you do the rest of your life and I am genuinely so happy for you and your family. Your inspiration is beyond football. Anyways wish you all the best!!

Aaron what a fantastic career you had, I have been a Rams fan all my life and have watched every one of your games you are a true inspiration to all kids out there what hard work will get you in life, sounds like you have an amazing family, when you said all you ever wanted was to make your dad proud and that was all that mattered that really told me how much you really love and respect your parents and appreciate everything they did for you growing up and I really admire that I wish more kids acted like that now days, you seem at peace with your decision and I wish you nothing but the best thanks for the memories it sure will be strange not seeing 99 out there on Sundays!
We are forever grateful for you 🐐. Enjoy retirement!
Great interview, I’ve been a huge fan of AD when we had him here in STL. After watching this interview you can see he’s a great guy. Bless you brother with your future & thanks for all you’ve done in this sport. Class Act, First Ballot Hall of Fame player.
AD was my fav player-Cardinals fan (I know). Hate to see him go but happy for the man, he looks fulfilled! Sure he’ll continue w/great things. Looking sharp, Veneers 🦷 🐐 💪🏽
